Nepal, a Himalayan country, is often chosen by global scientists to study climate change and
its impact on the Himalayan environment. The changes in temperature, precipitation …

Permafrost and glaciers are being degraded by the warming effects of climate change. The
impact that this degradation has on slope stability in mountainous terrain is the subject of …

Increasingly frequent glacier-rock avalanches (GRAs)–events triggered by the detachment
of both glacier and rock materials–have occurred in recent years in the Sedongpu gully in …

Abstract The Tibetan Plateau (TP) hosts numerous glaciers and lakes which are critical
natural water reserves but highly vulnerable to changing climate. In contrast to general …

Alpine glaciers in the low-and mid-latitudes respond more quickly than large polar ice
sheets to changes in temperature, precipitation, cloudiness, humidity, and radiation. Many …

Glacier surging is an unusual instability of ice flow, and inventories of surging glaciers are
important for regional glacier mass balance studies and glacier dynamic studies. Glacier …

Glaciers are currently the largest contributor to sea level rise after ocean thermal expansion,
contributing∼ 30% to the sea level budget. Global monitoring of these regions remains a …

Abstract The Indus Basin is referred to as a “water tower” which ensures water storage and
supply to sustain environmental and human needs downstream by a balanced combination …

Currently, about 12%–13% of High Mountain Asia's glacier area is debris-covered, which
alters its surface mass balance. However, in regional-scale modelling approaches, debris …

Contemporary changes in the Himalayan cryosphere are an important concern in the global
climate change debate. In this context, the glaciers of the Upper Indus Basin (UIB) deserve …
